Hi folks There are two components, which are currently not included in the main utils package: ioemu, xenfb. ioemu is currently shipped in its own package, xenfb is not shipped at all. Should we fold them into the main utils package for simplicity? ioemu adds 300k to the package and 4300k in one dependency (libsdl1.2debian). xenfb adds another 200k to the package and 200k in one dependency (libjpeg62).

The dependencies should be their own packages and thus the only issue then would be making sure the dependency is added. Regards, Jeremy

I don't like the RPM approach to make one big package with everything; the big advantage of deb is in the way it manages the dependencies, so we should follow this approach.> ioemu adds 300k to the package and 4300k in one dependency > (libsdl1.2debian). xenfb adds another 200k to the package and 200k in > one dependency (libjpeg62).You don't necessarily need them installed, so it's better to have them optional. - -- Flavio Visentin GPG Key: http://www.zipman.it/gpgkey.asc There are only 10 types of people in this world: those who understand binary, and those who don't. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGuIYLusUmHkh1cnoRAqaIAJ4pcV2BmTbxZBLFIUnvQug+LlAeBACff9+b gEs5R6Mb79lN0DvDBfg+Q94=qTry -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
